Ron Livingston once said, “Life is not always like chess. Just because you have the king surrounded, don’t think he is not capable of hurting you.” That’s what basically D’Angelo said in The Wire when he was teaching chess to Wallace and Bodie. Alison did a commercial about it for our radio show. I was inspired how she did that which I did post about it on the inspire website. Here’s the commercial she did for our radio show:

Even though we had like six people in our radio show group, I was happy to have Alison a part of it. She did a big part of outlining the radio show and that’s a huge step.

I love playing chess and after listening to Alison’s, it was an awesome one to hear about D’Angelo talking about on how to play chess in a radio way.

Wished I could make more for assignments or anything else that has a purpose to it. All I could say is

Also Alison deserves one thing as well.

Good job Alison!
